It wouldn’t be summer without beach sports, whether real or virtual. Big Beach Sports 2 is pretty much what you’d expect from Wii at this stage – a range of games that are far more entertaining when played with friends. This time around there are eight activities to choose from, including canoeing, cricket and dune buggies. You can also take to the waves for water rocket and surfing, or stick to more traditional sports such as rugby. This game doesn’t push any boundaries and isn’t majorly innovative, but it fits neatly into the niche that Nintendo has carved for itself. Best played as a group activity.
